You just cant see whats in your way up close, so it's less anxiety inducing to drive than a full size sedan. "What you don't know can't hurt you" 🤪

But more seriously, its probably the trick of perspective: the higher the seating position makes the vehicle footprint feel smaller and feel like you're moving slower and also makes it easier to see over the smaller cars in traffic 😅

(I don't actually own one but have driven my sisters one on occasion)
